Sudha Murthy is back with another book - the second in her chapter book series. Titled How the Onion Got Its Layers, the story is not of the vegetable or the tears that accompany it. An ode to weavers who spin tales, and otherwise, it is the story of a princess who loved new clothes. It was first released during the lockdown, in April, in e-book and audiobook formats. The physical copy has hit the markets this month.

Murthy, the chairperson of Infosys Foundation and an award-winning writer, had written the first of the series - How the Sea Became Salty - as the story of an orphan Sridhar, who was mistreated by his aunt. It was brought to life by renowned Indian illustrator Priya Kuriyan.

This time, accompanying Murthy's wit and simplicity is visual artist Priyanka Pachpande's illustrations. This is the second book that Pachpande has worked on, and her art doesn't go unnoticed. Her first was Geeta Dharmarajan's Choo... Mantar that she illustrated as part of her internship at Katha in Delhi. "I hadn't thought that such an angle could be given to an onion," says Pachpande. She adds, "But I could instantly imagine how the book was going to look, I knew a lot of fabrics were going to be involved, a lot of patterns will be involved and a lot of movement will be involved in the picturisation," she says.

One will find a variety of fabrics in the story. "The backstory in my head was basically that since she's a princess, her family will be exporting all the fancy fabrics. I made sure that every fabric in the story has a different pattern," says the Pune-based artist. One of the techniques that is dominant is bandhani, the tie and dye textile from Rajasthan and Gujarat. There is block printing and zari work, which is traditional embroidery done with fine gold and silver threads. Pachpande also incorporates tikli embroidery. "I had a lot of fun matching outfits with jewellery," she says.

The process started with a character analysis and research - what kind of a princess is she, and how princesses have been depicted in Indian storybooks. "One of the things that had to be worked on was what the king's crown would be like. In India, kings in different regions wore different crowns, there is also the turban. So that was also a question in my head - who am I speaking to? I was very careful not to stick to one region, as the story did not specify any," she says. That was the reason she put trees, mountains, water streams, many kinds of plants, lemons and oranges and other flowers in the background. "I wanted to bring in a lot of diversity," she says. She also fills it with pastel colours, which soothe the eyes, while Murthy's words warm the heart.

Sudha Murthy’s Train Ride story- What’s the truth?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A short story about Mrs. Sudha Murthy is spreading in Whatsapp and other social media. The story, very briefly goes like this. "Mrs. Bhattacharya was travelling in a Mumbai to Bangalore train when a TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) caught a young girl named Chitra travelling without ticket, hiding. Mrs. Bhattacharya paid for the girl's ticket. Years later, when Mrs. Bhattacharya was in USA, she finds out that someone had already paid her restaurant bill. On enquiring, it was the small girl from the train whose name is Sudha Murthy now, wife of Mr. Narayan Murthy". The story is inspirational and touching. But, is it true? This is what few of our readers needed an answer to.

Sathyamano team did an easy check on the internet and found out the story is FALSE. The story is an altered version of a short story written by Sudha Murthy herself. The story taken from her own life is named 'Bombay to Bangalore' has been published as part of her book, a collection of stories titled 'The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk'

The actual story is same as above, just that Sudha Murthy is the person who helped the girl on the train. She took the girl to an NGO and later sponsored Chitra to school and further studies till she got into a software company and became independent. Years later while Sudha Murthy was in San Francisco, USA, Chitra was there and she surprised Sudha Murthy by paying her hotel bill.

Its sure someone changed the characters for whatever intention and started spreading the story.

Here is a link to the original story and the publication. Story Penguin publications

'Grandma's Bag of Stories' neither a novel nor a short stories book it is a mix of the two.

In this book the children go to meet their grandparents (Ajja and Ajji) in Shiggaon in North Karnataka. They also meet Vishnu Kaka's grandchildren who live next door. Together the seven children go to a fair, the weekly market, Rehmat chacha's place and a fun-filled picnic. But their favourite activity is to gather around and listen to their Ajja and Ajji's stories. The grandparents narrate, not one, not two but twenty one stories like 'Doctor, Doctor', 'Kavery' and 'The Thief', 'The Enchanted Scorpions' and many more.

My favourite story was 'What's In it For Me, which is about a mouse who wants to get paid for everything he does. I also liked 'The Enchanted Scorpions' in which a man sells his ancestral home to a merchant. The merchant finds a box of scorpions which was actually money but only a true family member could see it as that. The merchant finally hands over this family treasure to the grandson of the man who sold him the house.
The book is quite realistic and reminded me of the stories my grandparents have told me. And just like me, everyone was upset when this adventure comes to an end.
This story is based on Sudha Murty's childhood in Shiggaon. These stories are based on the stories her grandmother told her.
Vidur Bahl is a 11-year-old, he will soon be in class 6 at Step By Step school. He is a keen golfer and enjoys his horse riding and cricket. He is crazy about cars.

Dear Diary,

I finished the book today. It left a mellow after-taste. I didn’t know what to make of it initially because the best way to judge a story is to gauge its effect. It felt light and uncomplicated, but unresolved, as if the pages ran out but the words shouldn’t have.Three Thousand Stitches won’t be the book I remember. It isn’t the kind of story that keeps flickering in and out of your consciousness. No random face with a peculiar nose or the lights hanging in the sky will remind me of this story. I knew when I finished reading that it just wasn’t this sort of a book.It is instead the book I will forgetfully place on my shelf. Its pages will turn yellow and an accidental glance at the title or the author will spark a thought until I stumble on it again. The story won’t exist until the eyes allow it to.

The writer of Three Thousand Stitches is powerful in her tone. She is boastfully confident, and proud. At least her voice is. But don’t get me wrong. It isn’t a repulsive trait. It’s the energy that deserves recognition simply because some are born to be great at what they do. Like Cristiano Ronaldo is for football. He, despite his humble origins, has image after image of his contoured body sprayed with layers of tan. He is bashful, yes, but rightfully so.

The book has anecdotes presented in short stories of her experiences. She recounts the time she was called ‘cattle class’ because of the language she spoke and the way she dressed. The co-founder of one of the most successful IT companies in India tells of her ambition, when shewas the only to woman to study engineering in an all-men’s college. She remembers her grandmother and wore silk sari with flowers in her hair. She describes the feeling of contentedness as she soaked herself in the holy waters of Varanasi. She speaks of her daily routine at the foundation she has nurtured so obsessively to help the needy. She detours into her travel diary and rejoices in finding a Bollywood connection everywhere she goes. She, for no logical reason whatsoever, ends the book by reciting her experience of attending an AA meeting to witness the havoc of alcoholism.Still, despite the assortment of emotions, let this serve as a warning -- there’s no eloquence in her words or even her sentences. It seems they’re written on a whim and a fancy. They are an insight into the author but they don’t give away enough. The fragments of her life are too far apart, like a lucky draw of moments she chose to display and tantalizingly blacked out the rest. The stories are featured like scriptures meant only to inspire and not provoke. They lack intensity and the episodes are penned with a childish naivety quite similar to writing in you, dear diary.

Does it help to know that she is the enigmatic Sudha Murthy, the philanthropist who gave her savings to create Infosys? Does her burdened name heighten your expectations from her? Does the knowledge of her authorship make you wish there were more dimensions to ThreeThousand Stitches?

It does for me.
Yours Lovingly,

PM(PRERNA MADAN)

More than capable of holding her own ground, Sudha Murthy is not just another trophy wife of a famous man.
Sudha Murthy has often proved that she is not a mere shadow of her famous husband. While many marriages take place for the sake of huge bank balances, Sudha Murthy, is one of those few women, who not only chose a man who said he could not provide her with riches, but also when he did, she used it for the betterment of the society.

An academically brilliant student, she was staunchly against gender discrimination. Having written a letter to Tata Motors about a discriminatory job posting mentioning lady candidates to not apply, Sudha Murthy actually bagged the same job.
She is a simpleton at heart and believes in using her wealth for helping the less fortunate. An author and a visionary, Sudha Murthy is an intellectual who is a class apart with a warm heart and a down-to-earth attitude.

Why we find her inspiring:

– For being courageous enough to speak openly about gender discrimination

– For her level headedness and zeal to help others

SOME OF HER THOUGHTS THAT INSPIRED ME A LOT

# data[].attributes.headline
BRILLIANT AND BRAVE AUTHOR- A GREAT INSPIRATION 

# data[].attributes.subject
BRILLIANT AND BRAVE AUTHOR- A GREAT INSPIRATION 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
They show in movies that women who sport black clothing, wacky hairdo, tattoos and pull off crazy stunts are badass, but do they know that a woman dressed in a simple cotton dhoti can be a total badass in real life? Mother Teresa was one of those women. And Padma Shri Sudha Murthy is yet another name that goes on that list.

Ms. Murthy is all women in one. She is a determined doer, a globetrotter, a resilient social worker, a brilliant engineer, a homemaker, an author and she keeps adding more roles to her persona. She faced difficult choices when it was a man-only tech world, she was daring enough to flaunt a bob haircut in the late 60s, which was in itself a scandal back then, and later on became a significant part and the backbone of Infosys.
In the 1960s, Sudha was the first woman to enroll in engineering when it was considered a male domain.
It was such a 'men' thing then that there did not even exist a women's toilet in the campus. Being the only female in 150 students, spilled ink on her chair and paper airplanes being thrown her way were how her days were like. Everyone knew her marks before the exam results were announced and her scores were the first thing up on the wall. But Sudha was unfazed because she had a bigger goal in place.
Narayana always owed her money during their pre-Infosys days.
During the time Narayana and Sudha courted each other, they explored all the cinema and restaurants they could in Pune. Narayana was always broke and would ask Sudha to pay his share which he would return later. Sudha kept a record of his debt for three years which came up to about Rs 4000, which he never returned and she tore up the book after their wedding.
A 29-year-old Sudha went on a solo trip in the US when she had moved there after marriage.
While some of us are still skeptical about travelling solo, Sudha explored the country after encouragement from Narayana, for three months on a backpack and has some noteworthy moments from her trip. There was one time when she was taken into custody by the New York Police because they thought she was an Italian trafficking drug mafia or the time when she spent a night at the bottom of the Grand Canyon with an old couple. While most of us watch such incidences in movies, Sudha was on an adventure long before most of us were born.
She was the first female engineer in TELCO (probably in India as well).
While applying for the position at TELCO, she found a footnote that said 'female candidates need not apply', that she did not appreciate and wrote to JRD Tata raising the issue of "men only" gender bias at TELCO, asking him how a prime and innovative house like the Tatas, "which always thought ahead of time, could put such a restriction." To her surprise, she was granted a special interview with a paid round trip and was hired on spot. She then joined India's largest auto manufacturer TATA as a Development Engineer and worked in various locations like Mumbai, Pune, and Jamshedpur.

She gave her husband her infallible support and some funds to start Infosys.
Later on, she moved to Mumbai and when Narayana came to her with the idea (that later became Infosys) and no money, she gave him Rs 10,000 she had saved and told him that she was giving him a three-year sabbatical in which she will take care of the house expenses and he should go chase his dream. But only for three years.

She became the pillar of her family as well as Infosys.
When Narayana converted their home as Infosys's office and worked with his colleagues, she took up a job as Senior Systems Analyst with Walchand group of Industries to keep financially strong and also worked as a cook, a clerk, and a programmer for Infosys when it was taking shape.

From writing travelogues to children's books, Sudha Murthy is now a writer to reckon with.
Sudha is a bestselling writer and has sold over 1.5 million books which include an intriguing mix of children's books, short stories, technical books, travelogues, 24 novels, and many nonfiction books. This comes as a surprise after her grueling schedule that keeps her on road, traveling in rural India for 20 days a month for her Infosys Foundation relief work.

JRD Tata's words inspired her to be a philanthropist that she is now.

Sudha met JRD out of the blue when she was leaving TELCO, and he was surprised that she was giving up a job she fought so hard for. When she mentioned that she was going to join her husband to build Infosys, the words he then said to her have been with her since:

"If you make lots of money you must give it back to society as you have received so much love from it."

These words later came to be the source of inspiration behind Infosys Foundation that she is currently running in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Tamil Nadu.

She went on to become one of the trustees of the Infosys Foundation in 1997 to help strengthen the less-privileged sections of society and helped build hospitals, rehabilitation centers, school buildings, orphanages, over 3500 libraries and 10,000 toilets, and 2300 houses in the flood-ravaged areas.

Sudha is always on the move and the travel takes her to over 800 villages. She has also handled tsunami relief work in Tamil Nadu and Andamans, the earthquake-stricken areas in Gujarat, floods in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa and drought in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Her work also covers women empowerment, public hygiene, art and culture, education, and healthcare. Sudha firmly believes that Indian corporates should "do much more for the society," particularly in education and health.

Her love for cinema encouraged her to watch 265 movies in a year.
Her academic excellence and social work have always been known but little did anyone know that she is a huge fan of movies and even admits that she could have become a film journalist. In an interview with Filmfare magazine, Sudha says,
I have 500 DVDs that I watch in my home theatre. I see a film in totality - its direction, editing... all aspects. People know me as a social worker, as an author... but no one knows me as a movie buff. That's why I am glad to do this interview with Filmfare. I could have actually become a film journalist. I never get bored of movies! From gender discrimination to when she was called 'cattle class' in London, Ms Murthy has time and again stood up for what she believed in and has always spoken her mind.
It came as a shock to everyone when Sudha was called a "cattle class" and asked to stand in the economy queue by some Gucci lady because she was dressed in salwar kameez. Later on, the same lady attended the event Sudha was in, dressed in a khadi saree and was flabbergasted to see Sudha give a talk about Infosys Foundation. From this experience, Sudha went on to write her recent book 'Three Thousand Stitches' that talks about some of the prevailing biases that are still so strong in society.

In most metro cities, many college-going girls become part of high-level prostitution because they want to earn quick money to buy designer clothes. This is because of the pressure created by the external force, So when I experienced the same myself at the airport I was more upset than angry.

Despite being one of the richest women in India, Sudha is unaffected by wealth and works from her spartan office at the Infosys Foundation, where she plans her weeks in advance in her battered diary.

Money can give you certain comforts but money has limited use. And once you realise that, money becomes a burden to you. You donate it. Money is a heavy bag on your back and you should lead a simple lightweight life," says Sudha firmly.

Every day, she gets hundreds of talk invitations from all over the world and takes up only a handful. She filters out the genuine donation requests to help the ones who face critical issues and not let the funds go to fraudulent establishments.

Recently, she has taken up a new hobby which is learning an ancient form of Kannada and the place's history, both of which she makes use of on her road-trips in the rural parts of Karnataka. She is always learning and serves as an inspiration for people around the globe.

Brilliant, Brave & Badass, Sudha Murthy Is The Kind Of Role Model We Women Need Today

They show in movies that women who sport black clothing, wacky hairdo, tattoos and pull off crazy stunts are badass, but do they know that a woman dressed in a simple cotton dhoti can be a total badass in real life? Mother Teresa was one of those women.

EXCERPT FROM SUDHA MURTHY'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY

EXCERPT FROM SUDHA MURTHY'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It was in Pune that I met Narayan Murthy through my friend Prasanna who is now the Wipro chief, who was also training in Telco (TataMotors) . Most of the books that Prasanna lent me had Murty's name on them which meant that I had a preconceived image of the man. Contrary to expectation, Murty was shy,bespectacled and an introvert. When he invited us for dinner. I was a bit taken aback as I thought the young man was making a very fast move. I refused since I was the only girl in the group. But Murty was relentless and we all decided to meet for dinner the next day at 7.30 p.m .. at Green Fields hotel on the Main Road ,Pune.

The next day I went there at 7′ o ! clock since I had to go to the tailor near the hotel. And what do I see? Mr. Murty waiting in front of the hotel and it was only seven. Till today, Murty maintains that I had mentioned (consciously! ) that I would be going to the tailor at 7 so that I could meet him... And I maintain that I did not say any such thing consciously or unconsciously because I did not think of Murty as anything other than a friend at that stage. We have agreed to disagree on this matter.

Soon, we became friends. Our conversations were filled with Murty's experiences abroad and the books that he has read. My friends insisted that Murty as trying to impress me because he was interested in me. I kept denying it till one fine day, after dinner Murty said, I want to tell you something. I knew this as it. It was coming. He said, I am 5'4″ tall. I come from a lower middle class family. I can never become rich in my life an! d I can never give you any riches. You are beautiful, bright, and intelligent and you can get anyone you want. But will you marry me? I asked Murty to give me some time for an answer. My father didn't want me to marry a wannabe politician, (a communist at that) who didn't have a steady job and wanted to build an orphanage...

When I went to Hubli I told my parents about Murty and his proposal. My mother was positive since Murty was also from Karnataka, seemed intelligent and comes from a good family. But my father asked: What's his job, his salary, his qualifications etc? Murty was working as a research assistant and was earning less than me. He was willing to go dutch with me on our outings. My parents agreed to meet Murty in Pune on a particular day at10 a. m sharp. Murty did not turn up. How can I trust a man to take care of my daughter if he cannot keep an appointment, asked my father.

At 12noon Murty turned up in a bright red shirt! He had gone on work to Bombay , was stuck in a traffic jam on the ghats, so he hired a taxi(though it was very expensive for him) to meet his would-be father-in-law. Father was unimpressed. My father asked him what he wanted to become in life.

Murty said he wanted to become a politician in the communist party and wanted to open an orphanage. My father gave his verdict. NO. I don't want my daughter to marry somebody who wants to become a communist and then open an orphanage when he himself didn't have money to support his family.

Ironically, today, I have opened many orphanages something, which Murty wanted to do 25 years ago. By this time I realized I had developed a liking towards Murty which could only be termed as love. I wanted to marry Murty because he is an honest man. He proposed to me highlighting the negatives in his life. I promised my father that I will not marry Murty without his blessings though at the same time, I cannot marry anybody else. My father said he would agree if Murty promised to take up a steady job. But Murty refused saying he will not do things in life because somebody wanted him to. So, I was caught between the two most important people in my life.

The stalemate continued for three years during which our courtship took us to every restaurant and cinema hall in Pune. In those days, Murty was always broke. Moreover, he didn't earn much to manage. Ironically today, he manages Infosys Technologies Ltd., one of the world's most reputed companies. He always owed me money. We used to go for dinner and he would say, I don't have money with me, you pay my share, I will return it to you later. For three years I maintained a book on Murty's debt to me.. No, he never returned the money and I finally tore it up after my wedding.

The amount was a little over Rs 4000. During this interim period Murty quit his job as research assistant and started his own software business. Now, I had to pay his salary too! Towards the late 70s computers were entering India in a big way.

During the fag end of 1977 Murty decided to take up a job as General Manager at Patni computers in Bombay .. But before he joined the company he wanted to marry me since he was to go on training to the US after joining. My father gave in as he was happy Murty had a decent job, now.

WE WERE MARRIED IN MURTY'S HOUSE IN BANGALORE ON FEBRUARY 10, 1978 WITH ONLY OUR TWO FAMILIES PRESENT.I GOT MY FIRST SILK SARI. THE WEDDING EXPENSES CAME TO ONLY RS 800 (US $17) WITH MURTY AND I POOLING IN RS 400 EACH..

I went to the US with Murty after marriage. Murty encouraged me to see America on my own because I loved travelling. I toured America for three months on backpack and had interesting experiences which will remain fresh in my mind forever. Like the time when the New York police took me into custody because they thought I was an Italian trafficking drugs in Harlem . Or the time when I spent the night at the bottom of the Grand Canyon with an old couple. Murty panicked because he couldn't get a response from my hotel room even at midnight. He thought I was either killed or kidnapped.

IN 1981 MURTY WANTED TO START INFOSYS. HE HAD A VISION AND ZERO CAPITAL...initially I was very apprehensive about Murty getting into business. We did not have any business background ... Moreover we were living a comfortable life in Bombay with a regular pay check and I didn't want to rock the boat. But Murty was passionate about creating good quality software. I decided to support him. Typical of Murty, he just had a dream and no money. So I gave him Rs 10,000 which I had saved for a rainy day, without his knowledge and told him, This is all I have. Take it. I give you three years sabbatical leave. I will take care of the
financial needs of our house. You go and chase your dreams without any worry. But you
have only three years!

Murty and his six colleagues started Infosys in 1981,with enormous interest and hard work. In 1982 I left Telco and moved to Pune with Murty. We bought a small house on loan which also became the Infosys office. I was a clerk-cum-cook- cum-programmer. I also took up a job as Senior Systems Analyst with Walchand group of Industries to support the house.

In 1983 Infosys got their first client, MICO, in Bangalore . Murty moved to Bangalore and stayed with his mother while I went to Hubli to deliver my second child, Rohan. Ten days after my son was born, Murty left for the US on project work. I saw him only after a year, as I was unable to join Murty in the US because my son had infantile eczema, an allergy to vaccinations. So for more than a year I did not step outside our home for fear of my son contracting an infection. It was only after Rohan got all his vaccinations that I came to Bangalore where we rented a small house in Jayanagar and rented another house as Infosys headquarters. My father
presented Murty a scooter to commute. I once again became a cook, programmer, clerk,
secretary, office assistant et al. Nandan Nilekani and his wife Rohini stayed with us. While Rohini babysat my son, I wrote programs for Infosys. There was no car, no phone, and just two kids and a bunch of us working hard, juggling our lives and having fun while Infosys was taking shape. It was not only me but also the wives of other partners too who gave their unstinted support. We all knew that our men were trying to build something good.

It was like a big joint family, taking care and looking out for one another. I still remember Sudha Gopalakrishna looking after my daughter Akshata with all care and love while Kumari Shibulal cooked for all of us. Murty made it very clear that it would either be me or him working at Infosys. Never the two of us together... I was involved with Infosys initially.

Nandan Nilekani suggested I should be on the Board but Murty said he did not want a husband and wife team at Infosys. I was shocked since I had the relevant experience and technical qualifications. He said, Sudha if you want to work with Infosys, I will withdraw, happily. I was pained to know that I will not be involved in the company my husband was building and that I would have to give up a job that I am qualified to do and love doing.

It took me a couple of days to grasp the reason behind Murty's request..I realized that to make Infosys a success one had to give one's 100 percent. One had to be focussed on it alone with no other distractions. If the two of us had to give 100 percent to Infosys then what would happen to our home and our children? One of us had to take care of our home while the other took care of Infosys.

I opted to be a homemaker, after all Infosys was Murty's dream. It was a big sacrifice but it was one that had to be made.

Even today, Murty says, "Sudha, I stepped on your career to make mine. You are responsible for my success."
